Chapter 48: Smart Astin

Hu Shang looked at Xiao Chenxuan in front of him. He seemed to be very interested in the devil fire, and his little mind immediately became active.

"This young master, the little man Asdin, comes from the Kingdom of Persia. There are only a few people staying in Jingchu with the young master. Most of the others went to Xindu and other places. Therefore, there are really not many devil fires.

.”

How could Xiao Chenxuan not understand that Astin was really a businessman. When he saw that he was interested in peppers, he immediately raised the price.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Xiao Chenxuan directly took a few more coins from the guard's hand and said with a smile: "See? Just find all the peppers for me, and they will all be yours."

How can a blind man open his eyes when he sees money? What's more, the person in front of him can get so much silver as long as he helps find some devil's fire like weeds. Astin's eyes suddenly lit up. If he wants to, he must have enough money.

How about one year of life for an ordinary family? A big customer, an absolutely big customer.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I understand, I will gather all the Persian merchants together and ask them to hand over the devil's fire in their hands to the young master."

As soon as Astin finished speaking, he left his daughter with Xiao Chenxuan and others, and went to gather his companions. He was not worried whether Xiao Chenxuan would abduct his daughter and sell it directly.

After a while, Aston gathered people from Persia, about a dozen people, each carrying a vegetable basket filled with red chili peppers.

Astin walked up to Xiao Chenxuan, the chrysanthemums on his face bloomed, he bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, all the devil fires are here."

After Astin finished speaking, he looked mean and rubbed his fingers back and forth, looking straight at the silver in Xiao Chenxuan's hand.

Xiao Chenxuan looked at the dozen or so baskets filled with peppers and vegetables and smiled happily. This was much more than he expected!

Now the pepper seeds are not a problem at all, and there are so many pepper skins, I can go back home to eat hot pot. Thinking of this, Xiao Chenxuan drooled with greed, and immediately ordered the guards generously to distribute a piece of silver to each person.

"That's all, are you sure you haven't forgotten anything?"

It's not that Xiao Chenxuan doesn't believe the people in front of him, but because he has spent so much money, and these Hu businessmen haven't handed over all of them, then doesn't he mean that he has let these Hu businessmen go whoring in vain?

Everyone nodded and bowed and said: "Everyone, I promise it's all, nothing is hidden."

Although they didn't know the identity of the young master in front of them, they didn't dare to offend them at will. As a businessman who had traveled thousands of miles, he knew how to make money with kindness. At this moment, a Hu businesswoman suddenly thought of something and stood up.

come out.

"Well, sir, do you want the devil's fire seedlings? My family has planted some in the yard."

When Xiao Chenxuan heard that there were still seedlings, he immediately asked everyone: "Everyone, have you planted any seedlings?"

Everyone nodded in unison. Xiao Chenxuan was very satisfied. After giving instructions to the guards, he walked into the alley where Hu Shang lived like a devil entering a village.

Looking at the seedlings cultivated by Hu Shang, Xiao Chenxuan was happy to bloom. It was late spring at this time, which happened to be a good time to plant pepper seedlings. With a wave of his hand, he directly gave everyone another ingot of silver, starting Xiao Chenxuan's visit.

The life of a prodigal for the first time in mainland China.

Each of the Hu merchants received three ingots of silver. They were so happy that they could hardly find their way to the north. They were all even more respectful to Xiao Chenxuan, bending down to express their thanks.

"Thank you! Thank you, sir!"

Xiao Chenxuan, who unexpectedly got the pepper seedlings, did not care about the gain or loss of this little money. He directly ordered the guards to join these Hu merchants to uproot the pepper seedlings, load them on the carriage and send them to the palace. He also asked Astin to be responsible for planting the peppers in the palace.

Unfortunately, none of these Hu merchants had potato seeds with them.

When Astin and others heard that Xiao Chenxuan said that they would load the peppers into a truck and send them to the palace, they were so frightened that everyone knelt down and asked for their money to be returned. Xiao Chenxuan waved his hands to everyone and said domineeringly: "I spent the money I gave you.

, He Cheng needs to return it! You just need to pay attention to me whether the Hu merchants who come and go have earth eggs in their hands. If so, I will never treat you badly."

Xiao Chenxuan was so generous, and everyone knelt down to thank him again.

And Astin took the initiative to stand up, patted his chest and said: "I see that the prince also attaches great importance to this place. How about this, the prince helps the villain take care of the little girl, and the villain will search everywhere and come to the mainland of China with me."

A Persian businessman has decided to retrieve the earth eggs for the prince, I wonder if that’s okay?”

Astin is betting on whether Xiao Chenxuan, the Prince of Ji in front of him, attaches great importance to the Earth Egg. If so, then if he helps the Prince of Ji find the Earth Egg, he will be greeted with wealth. If he leaves his daughter in Prince Ji's Mansion, he will treat his daughter

After all, except for high-ranking officials and nobles, Hu Ji cannot be raised by anyone. But if his daughter grows up in Prince Ji's palace, it will not be comparable to a simple Hu Ji. In the future,

, I don’t think I’ll get a good home.

Xiao Chenxuan looked at Astin who swore that he was a smart man. He was definitely a smart businessman. When he learned that he was the King of Ji, he wanted to gamble his and his daughter's future. At the same time, he was also a cruel person. He was so easy to put himself to death.

The daughter was handed over to a stranger.

Xiao Chenxuan stared at Astin again, until Astin lowered his head, there were still beads of sweat on his scalp.

, Xiao Chenxuan smiled in relief and said: "Okay! Okay! Then I will leave this matter to you. The money required for travel expenses will be collected from Prince Ji's Mansion later. As long as you can find the earth egg, I promise you

A fortune."

If you find potatoes, the yield will be 20 dan per mu, or even more. In today's world, no matter which country you are in, getting this food will not only mean wealth, but also an official position, or even a title.

But as a Hu businessman, you should not even think about being given a title or an official position. It is basically hopeless, but wealth is definitely indispensable.

When Astin heard Xiao Chenxuan promised him, he immediately knelt down. "I promise to complete the task."

After Astin finished speaking, he quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and said to himself: "It's terrible, it's terrible. Is this the majesty of a prince? Just one look made him feel like he could hardly breathe.

Already."

Xiao Chenxuan didn't care what Astin was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Humph, but remember, if you help me do things, you must be loyal to me wholeheartedly. If you are only interested in profit, I will not mind crushing you to ashes, but you understand

?”

How could Astin not understand that he was so greedy for money when he didn't know the identity of King Ji, and that he was betting on his daughter's happiness and his own destiny, making him a greedy gambler. No matter what kind of master, he would not

I hope someone will betray him after seeing a better force.

Astin knelt down on the ground with his whole body, his forehead covered with dust, and said sincerely: "I understand, please don't worry, Your Majesty. If I betray Your Majesty one day, I will be struck by five thunders, and you will not die a good death!"

Xiao Chenxuan knew that the ancients were honest and reaffirmed their oaths. Whether it was China or other places, if they really swore an oath, the chance of betrayal was very small, unless they were really ruthless and unscrupulous people. However, for people like Astin, far away from home, at most

Just asking for a fortune.

Xiao Chenxuan nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up Astin, patted the dust on Astin's body, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, follow me, I will not treat you badly."

King Ji personally dusted himself off. Astin was very moved and replied: "I know that I will never let down the prince's trust."

Xiao Chenxuan nodded again, pointed at Astin's daughter and said: "Little sister, what's your name?"

Astin's porcelain doll-like daughter lowered her head and whispered: "I...my name is Anike."

After saying that, the little girl hid behind her father, not daring to look at Xiao Chenxuan anymore, and said silently in her heart: "This big brother is so scary, even grandpa will kneel in front of him."
